EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite handcoloured lithograph, we are transported back to the 16th century and the court of King Henri III of France. The portrait captures the elegant and refined image of a gentleman of the time, dressed in the height of fashion during the reign of this monarch. King Henri III, born in 1551, ascended to the throne in 1574 after the death of his brother, King Charles IX. Known for his love of the arts, literature, and beauty, Henri III's court was renowned for its opulence and sophistication. This gentleman, with his meticulously groomed beard, fashionable attire, and air of confidence, embodies the essence of the French nobility during this period. The gentleman's costume, as depicted in this lithograph, is a testament to the extravagance and intricacy of the fashion of the time. His doublet, made of rich velvet, is adorned with gold lace and embroidery, while his breeches are held up by a decorative sash. The lace ruff at his neck and the intricately designed hat add to the overall grandeur of his appearance. This beautiful handcoloured lithograph is taken from the portfolio "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Paul Lacroix, published in Paris in 1852. The work was based on the collection of Roger de Gaignieres, a renowned French antiquarian and bibliophile. The meticulous attention to detail in the lithograph, from the gentlemen's facial features to the intricate patterns on his clothing, makes it a valuable historical document and a work of art in its own right. In this portrait, we are offered a glimpse into the world of the French nobility during the reign of King Henri III, a time of beauty, elegance, and opulence. The gentleman's confident and refined appearance serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of France during this period.
